World AIDS Day 2014 Selfie/Vine Competition
World AIDS Day is held on December 1st each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV, and to commemorate people who have died from AIDS.
Globally, a recorded 33.3 million people live with HIV, approximately 1000 of which come from St. Lucia. World AIDS Day is important as it reminds the public and Government that HIV has not gone away. There is still a vital need to raise money, increase awareness, fight prejudice and improve education.
The objective of this competition is to increase awareness and remind young people especially that HIV/AIDS is still around and is still very much an issue they should be weary of. As such, they should practise safe sexual habits each and every time. We are also hoping to debunk myths and misconceptions, and minimise stigma and discrimination against persons infected with and affected by HIV.
GUIDELINES: Submit a selfie/vine (6-15sec video) creatively portraying a positive HIV/AIDS/Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) related message geared towards increasing awareness, encouraging safe sexual practices, debunking myths and misconceptions and/or minimising stigma and discrimination. Messages may be written in the sand, held up on paper, printed on a shirt, etc.
